A Departure from the Usual Tex-Mex

I simply love coming to Sazon for lunch. It is never too busy or loud and the food so far has always pleased my crowd.  Sazon is a departure from the greasy, cheesy typical Tex Mex and that’s fine by me.So far I have tried the following:
Chile en Nogada- a traditional food served at weddings and simply DIVINE. It’s a roasted poblano stuffed with a delectable assortment of tender shredded pork, raisins, plantains, cinnamon, apples and peaches all covered in a cool almond walnut cream sauce.

Tikin Xic- a traditional Yucatan dish of achiote marinated redfish wrapped in a banana leaf and served with fried plantains, rice and marinated pickled onion relish. The fish is very flavorful and the achiote has a subtle, not overpowering earthy, smoky flavor.

Relleno de Elote- A great vegetarian dish of roasted poblano stuffed with sweet corn and feta and smothered with a rich tomato sauce. It was very flavorful but the least favorite of the other dishes I’ve tried.

Perhaps because I’ve come at a slower time I’ve never experienced less than great service. Our waiters have always been very attentive and filled with good suggestions from the menu.

Sazon is a great departure from typical Tex Mex and is situated in an unassuming atmosphere that is perfect for a little getaway in the middle of the day.  Check it out…
